Hi there,
since a few days I am using one monitor in portrait position.
When I scale the dorico window to the screen and then click anywhere in the score, the right border of the window jumps a bit to the right and the tools in the right hand side are not fully accessible anymore (would send a video, but dont know how to attach videos to this post…).
Any ideas how to fix that?
best regards,
Lorenz
The problem is that the Dorico project window’s minimum width is too wide for your display, so it’s being forced to its minimum width when you interact with it. We’ve made some changes in Dorico 5.1 that should alleviate this problem, so please give this a try in the new update when it arrives.
thanks Daniel for the quick reply and your help!
best wishes,
Lorenz
Hi Daniel,
just installed Dorico 5.1.
My problem ist still there. I am able to work so no worries but just so the Dorico Team knows.
best,
Lorenz
Could you remind me of your screen resolution and display scaling percentage?
I use this monitor: ProLite XUB2294HSU-B2
Resolution is 1080x1920 (Default)Not sure what display scaling percentage is and where to find it…
Sent you a screenshot of my screen settings
Best,
Lorenz
Thanks, Lorenz. I guess if that’s a regular ol’ 1080p display, you’re using 100% display scaling on that screen. It’s curious, because I’m sure Dorico’s minimum width is less wide than 1080 pixels. Can you make a little screen recording using QuickTime Player or a similar tool, capturing the whole display, so I can see exactly what’s going on?
Here is a screen recording.
When the file opens, it fits perfectly inside the screen frame, as soon as I click anything the right border jumps to the right.
Maybe it has to do with my three screens? (you can see the screen arrangement in the former mail in the screenshot of my display prefs)

Annoyingly, I can’t play the video in either of my commonly-used browsers. Could you perhaps provide a link to it on a cloud storage site?
Oh, sorry, I checked the link myself, here it worked…
In the meantime I understood that the mail was rejected because of the .mov format.
So I give it a try and send a mp4 attached.
In addition I zipped the clip and re-uploaded it so this should work for direct download…

(Attachment dorico5.1_screen.mp4 is missing)
Ok, I learned from the rejected automatic answer that Steinberg only allows mp4 with maxim size 4MB
I will split the video now (it’s 7,9MB), in the meantime maybe try this direct download link, I zipped the file and re-uploaded it…

Part2
This is the important part, after opening the file I click anywhere and the frame jumps
Thanks for the videos. I think the issue is the text that describes the selection. When the selection changes, that gets longer, and that forces the window to be wider. I’m not really sure what we can do about that, aside from perhaps provide an option in a future version not to display that descriptive text at all.
The text I’m referring to is the text in the status bar at the bottom left-hand corner of the window that updates when you select different items in the music area.
Hi Daniel,
Ah, I found it.
I got curious and tried it on my laptop screen and found an interesting behaviour.
Can’t remember wether streaming of my clip worked, with this link you should be able to stream it in your browser - some of them at least.
On Mac it works with Safari.

When you open the Dorico file you can move the right border to the left so in my example only 7 bars are displayed.
When I now click on anything in the score, the right border jumps to the right so 8 bars are visible and you can’t make it smaller anymore.
But now, when you drag the right border to the right and to the left again, it stops at approximately 10 displayed bars and you can’t make it smaller than that anymore.
And this last size is the one that doesn’t fit on my portrait screen anymore.
Lorenz –
Because you’re replying via email, your name, website and phone number get added to every post. It’s not wise to have these details publicly repeated!
oh dear, thanks, I didn´t realize since I only responded to the mails…
sorry for that
Bumping this because I am having the same issue with a second, portrait oriented monitor. I can resize the second window (on primary monitor) so that it fits on the portrait display when I initially drag it over, but it inevitably resizes beyond the 1080 frame.
You can use the new right-click menu in the status bar to choose which buttons and information is shown there. Hiding some of that information should allow the window to be sufficiently narrow for your portrait orientation display.
